Chapter 28
Maggie was instantly rendered speechless.
Just then, there was another knock on the door, and a man in a suit strolled in
elegantly.
Tyler stilled when he saw the scene inside the room and asked, “What’s going
on?”
Maggie was sharper than Sasha and glanced at Vicky before saying, “After
finding out what happened, Sheila was plagued with guilt toward Miss Shaw, so
she insisted on coming here despite her leg injury and my objection to apologize
Enter title…
to Miss Shaw, but…” Maggie paused before continuing pointedly, “It seems that
Miss Shaw is still angry.”
Seeing that Sheila refused to get up until she accepted her apology, Vicky smiled
and said, “Miss Young, Miss Perez is right; you have nothing to do with this. You
didn’t do anything wrong, so you don’t have to apologize to me.”
She was wondering why Sheila would go through all the trouble to go to her room
for this.
She realized Sheila had staged it for Tyler to see.
Sheila forced a smile. “Sasha is my cousin, after all. She has some
misunderstanding about Miss Shaw because of me. That’s why she keeps
targeting Miss Shaw, and a part of it is my fault as well…”
Vicky remained expressionless. “If you’re truly sorry, then…you should get Sasha
here to apologize to me. She’s an adult, not a baby. You’re just her cousin, not her
mother. You don’t get to take the blame for
everything.”
The smile on Sheila’s face collapsed, and she lowered her eyes as though she
was being bullied. “You’re right,
Miss Shaw. I’ll remember that.”
“Your leg is injured, so you shouldn’t walk around like this. You should go back
and rest, Miss Young,” Vicky
said.
Sheila glanced at Tyler and, seeing how he did not say a thing, took the hint.
“Alright, I’ll go back now.”
After Sheila left, Vicky noticed that Tyler remained in her room and reminded him,
“Mister Hart, Miss Young
has left.”
“Hm?”
She scowled. “You can go with her now.”
He remained quiet for a few moments before saying, “I’m here to talk to you.”
Surprised, she asked, “About what?”
“Cece is out.”
She sighed in relief. “Good.”
She did not thank Tyler. After all, she did not owe him anything. He did not release
Cece as a favor to her, and
it was merely an opportunity Vicky had earned by risking her life.

In the afternoon, Cece was informed that Vicky had been admitted to the hospital
and immediately came to
visit her.
Cece seemed to have suffered a great deal in prison and slimmed down quite a
bit; her face and body were
covered in bruises.
Upon arriving, Cece softly asked, “Vicky, how did you end up in the hospital
again? What happened?”
